1. Transportation
Secure the load
All pipes must be secured by straps or other suitable means to prevent movement during transit and be in compliance with all local and state regulations regarding load restraint. The width of bolster must provide sufficient area of support to protect the pipe coating. A minimum bolster width of 150mm is required. Double scalloped bolsters should be used to separate layers of stacked pipe and pipes in the same row spaced so that they do not touch. Scallops must be cut to suit the outside diameter of the pipe and have a minimum saddle angle of 90 degrees. The bottom bolsters should be securely anchored to the floor or side of the road truck or rail carriage. The load should be strapped securely at a minimum of two locations, not more than 500 mm from the bolsters and using webbing straps with a minimum lashing capacity of 2000kg. Multiple straps may be necessary at each location. See Figure 1.1.
2. Site Preparation
Good site preparation maximises safety and can save time and money
S I N T A K O T E
Site checks
While preparing sites remember to check for :
Vehicle access
road conditions warning signs traffic control load limitations all weather access
Storage compounds
convenience of location security site dunnage availability protection from weather
Stacking areas
uneven surfaces that may require grading stability in bad weather clear of grass in case of fire overhead power lines other services
The strapping should be securely anchored with approved ratchet type devices and If bolsters are utilised only two per pipe length should be checked for tension at regular should be used. Each should be placed 0.2 intervals not exceeding 300 kilometres of to 0.25 of the length from each pipe end travel. Chains shall not be used to tie down (outside quarter points). See Figure 1.1 pipes or piles. Bolster locations 0.2 to 0.25 of the pipe length from each end This may be varied to suit vehicle load requirements. 500mm 500mm

Guide ropes
Lifting operations
All lifting operations must meet legal and occupation, health and safety requirements applicable to the site. Qualified personnel must be employed for crane operation. When unloading by mobile crane, a licensed dogman must be present. Lifting should be done smoothly without sudden jerking motions. Pipe movement should be controlled by use of guide ropes and care taken not to bump other pipes or equipment. See Figure 3.1. Lifting and placing must be carried out so that the stability of the pipe stack, crane or vehicle is maintained.
When conditions are suitable, forklifts may be used. The contact surfaces of the tynes must be protected with thick rubber with a minimum durometer hardness (Shore D) of 45.
Use twin slings, spreader bar or other approved lifting devices. See Figure 3.1 Slings and lifting devices must comply and be used in accordance with the appropriate safety requirements. The slings shall be of nylon or synthetic material of sufficient width that shall not damage the coated surface of the pipe or pipe fitting.
Choosing equipment
When choosing lifting equipment consider pipe weights (Appendix D: General data; Table D.3) type of stacking outreach site conditions
Before unloading
Choose a central storage site for general use, storage of small components, gaskets, etc. Choose and prepare suitable pipe storage sites along the pipeline route. If possible, select unloading and storage areas which are clear of overhead powerlines. Make sure the truck is on level ground before releasing the straps.
Accessories
Slings
Pipes should be handled one at a time.
Hooks
Hooks should not be used for lifting pipes or fittings.

Figure 4.2 - Pipe bearing area clear of the ground. Beware of protruding rocks and uneven ground. If pipes are provided with factory fitted CP lugs ensure that pipes are stored with lugs at the top. The pipe should be supported at two locations 0.2 to 0.25 of the pipe length from each end. See Figure 4.1. Each support shall provide adequate bearing area. The bearing area on the pipe should not be less than that shown in Table 4.1. See Figure 4.2. It is recommended that pipes be supported on sawdust filled bags or sand mounds. The supports should be positioned to ensure that each pipe is stable. For long term storage, sand mounds should be protected from erosion. The entire pipe must be kept clear of the ground to protect the coating from damage. It is recommended that pipes be separated from each other for ease of inspection and to minimise the potential for damage during handling.

Storage
Small fittings, rubber rings and lubricant should be stored in a secure convenient area. Lubricant must not be stored for lengthy periods in direct sunlight. Rubber rings should be stored in bags, out of the sun and away from petroleum products. They should be stored in a manner that prevents them from being subject to high compressive or tensile strains. Rubber rings should be used within 12 months. If rubber rings are stored for longer periods they should be discarded. such conditions, the wider the cracks will be and the greater the extent of any disbondment (drumminess). Cracks up to 2mm in width (as allowed in AS 1281, Cement Mortar Lining of Steel Pipes and Fittings) are acceptable for pipes conveying potable water as these cracks close and heal on exposure to water. When pipes greater than 800mm in diameter are stored for more than a few weeks in hot, dry conditions, cracks may develop in excess of the 2mm allowable under AS 1281 and the lining may disbond. In such circumstances precautions should be taken such as end capping (to reduce airflow and thus rate of cracking) and adding water to the pipes (to reduce the width of cracks). Guidelines for repair when cracks or disbondment exceeds 2mm are found in Appendix B - Field repair and joint reinstatement of cement mortar lining.
Always use approved slings and accessories. For large pipes, twin slings should be used, Refer to Section 3: Unloading and handling; Accessories. Guide ropes should be used to control the pipe. See Figure 3.1.
Where to string
Pipe should be located to minimise handling during the laying operation. Pipes should be properly supported. Refer Section 4: Stacking and storage. Large fittings and valves should be put adjacent to where they will be needed. Small fittings, gaskets, nuts and bolts should be kept in a secure storage area until they are needed.

6. Trenching
Before excavation
Locate and mark other underground utility service lines. Check whether the water table needs to be lowered with dewatering equipment. Assess trench stability and shoring requirements.
As a guide, the following trench minimum widths are reasonable:
OD + 400mm for pipe diameters OD + 600mm for pipe diameters OD + 700mm for pipe diameters 0.25 x ODmm for pipe diameters 450mm > 450mm , 900mm > 900mm , 1500mm >1500mm
Figure 5.1- Single stringing of pipes When laying pipe on steep slopes, construction should start at the bottom and proceed up hill. In this way the weight of the pipes is used to advantage when jointing. Pipes should thus be strung with sockets facing uphill. See Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.2- Multiple stringing of pipes When multiple stringing, groups of pipes should be in line with the trench with their sockets all facing the direction of laying. Groups of pipes should be separated by the distance covered by the number of pipes in the group. See Figure 5.2.

7. Bedding
Why Bedding ?
Bedding evenly supports the pipe and protects the external coating. Bedding should be spread evenly along the trench with socket holes or welding stations provided at each joint. The socket holes should be deep enough to stop the socket of the pipe bearing any weight. Welding stations should also be big enough to allow welding and wrapping at welded joints. Lift pipe such that base of pipe is at top of bedding
50mm min Figure 7.1- Bedding layer minimum depth The bedding layer under the pipe should be at least 50 mm thick when compacted See Figure 7.1.
Back hoe
Excavator
Trencher
How to excavate
Usually an excavator or backhoe with bucket attachment is used. Only authorised people should operate this equipment. A trencher may be used if conditions permit. This can be a faster method. See Figure 6.1
Barricades should be used if there is a danger of anybody falling into the trench. Occupation, Health and Safety regulations must be observed.
Safety
If working under power lines check with the electricity supply authority and the government safety authority. You may need to; arrange for overhead cables to be diverted or protected with insulating covers, arrange for electricity to be cut off, put up goal post type barriers or, use luffing stops on the machine Remember there is greater sag in power lines on hot days.
Bedding in rock
The trench should be excavated to ensure that there is space for a minimum of 50 mm compacted bedding beneath the pipe and to accommodate appropriate joint stations for welding and reinstatement if required. Figure 7.2- Spreading bedding Bedding should be compacted to ensure a firm, even base for pipe laying.

Joint Types
A number of common jointing configurations are available for steel pipe: Rubber ring joint, SINTAJOINT Expanded and collapsed or spherical slip-in welded joint, Ball and socket welded joint, Butt welded joint Butt welded joint with band or collar Flanged joint See Figure 8.1 SINTAKOTE pipes and fittings are factory formed/assembled for site installation without further site adjustment. Where, as a result of site conditions or damage to pipe, pipes must be cut to length on site, the following should be noted: Pipes with welded joints can be cut and joints welded in accordance with this Section. Pipe ends to be joined should be prepared in accordance with site welding procedure and joint areas reinstated in accordance with Appendices A and B, SINTAJOINT pipe, where cut, can only be joined by welding in accordance with above. Do not attempt to use a cut end in a rubber ring joint. SINTAPIPE pipe should not be cut for jointing. Normally design is carried out to avoid the need for cutting on site. Where SINTAKOTE pipe with welded joint, SINTAJOINT or SINTAPIPE is to be cut and installed with a free end in a corrosive situation, such as in sewer manholes, it is recommended that a Tyco Water representative is consulted.
Jointing Equipment
Anchor sling
Reversed eye, synthetic webbing slings or round slings (of endless fibre construction) are recommended for use in the assembly of SINTAJOINT pipes. Woven synthetic slings must be sheathed to prevent penetration of the fabric by grit, abrasion and deterioration. The slings are fitted to the pipe using a choker hitch and in this configuration the sling is rated to the SWL limit marked on the webbing. See Figure 8.2. Assembly forces will vary depending on the relative dimensions of the ends being joined, and to a lesser extent, the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe. It is expected that these forces would be between 20 and 50 kN. The length of the sling is generally pipe circumference plus 400 mm.
Puller
A winch block of 30-50kN pulling capacity fitted with hooks on both ends is adequate.
Rubber mats
Typically 500 x 500 x 6 12 mm thick pieces of conveyor belt or similar should be placed between equipment and pipe where the coating is likely to be damaged during joint assembly.
Pipe ends
Pipe ends must be inspected visually for any damage that may have occurred during transport, site storage or handling.
Rags
To clean sockets and spigots immediately before joint assembly.

before the pipe is laid. See Appendix A for methods of assessment of damage to SINTAKOTE and methods of repair .
Lubricant
Inspect lubricant tins for damage and replace if contaminated. Use only the lubricant supplied by Tyco Water.
Testing of SINTAKOTE
All surfaces coated with SINTAKOTE are factory tested for pin holes and other defects. SINTAKOTE is a tough coating with a high resistance to handling and transport damage. However coating damage can occur through poor handling or incorrect storage. To ensure that the highest quality coating system is placed in the ground, it is recommended that field high voltage holiday inspection be carried out on all coated surfaces. SINTAKOTE can be tested at high voltage without any detrimental effect on coating properties. The voltage for the testing should be set at 12,000V -14,000V and testing undertaken in accordance with AS3894.1 or AS4321 Fusion-bonded medium-density polyethylene coating & lining for pipes and fittings. Note that the safety procedures detailed in the Standard must be strictly followed. With SINTAJOINT pipes, the earth should be clamped to a metal plate, laid on the cement mortar lining. The 12,000V-14,000V test voltage is specified for all coating and lining thicknesses. For SINTAPIPE pipes, ie. pipes that are totally coated and lined with Sintakote, the method specified in AS4321 shall be used.
The recommended method for joint assembly is to pull the pipe being laid into the socket of the previously laid pipe, using anchor slings and winch blocks or pullers. See Figure 8.2. Another joint assembly method is easing the pipe into the joint by slewing the excavator or crane. This method is acceptable, provided it does no damage to the pipe, including the external coating or internal lining. The slewing action must be controlled to ensure alignment of the pipe. Care must be taken not to drive the spigot past the witness mark as this may damage the coating and/or lining. If the pipe is to be cathodically protected, it will be supplied with cathodic protection lugs on both the socket and spigot. Ensure the pipe is installed with these located at the very top of the pipe, to enable connection of joining cable across the joint.
first placed in the invert and then inserted into the groove by progressively placing it and compressing until the last part snaps in the groove. See Figure 8.3 The ring is slightly over length and this must be evenly distributed by pre-compressing the rubber progressively as it is fitted into the groove. A simple clamp can A simple clamp can assist with holding the ring firm allowing two hands free to fit the balance of the ring. The placement of rubber rings in pipes larger then 1000mm OD may require two people.
Preparation
Start with the free socket end of the previous assembly which should be sitting over a scooped out area of bedding. Measure out the location where the next socket end will fall in the trench, and scoop out the bedding so that after laying there will be sufficient clearance for the socket. Fit the anchor sling behind the socket.
Lubrication
Lift the next pipe and fit an anchor sling over the spigot positioning it about 2 metres from the end. Clean the spigot while it is suspended in the slings. On the spigot, the lubricant should be sparingly applied to the area from the spigot end to the witness mark, providing 100% cover. Lubricate the internal socket lip, the rubber ring and the spigot end of the pipe to be inserted. Use only lubricant supplied by Tyco Water suitable for use with SINTAKOTE pipe.
Rubber ring
Clean the inside of the socket with a clean rag, then fit the rubber ring. Always inspect the rubber ring for damage or tears prior to inserting in the socket. The rubber ring is

Pipe size OD (mm) Experience has shown that this is a critical aspect of rubber ring joint field assembly procedures. Using an incorrect lubricant may cause failure of the rubber ring or SINTAKOTE. The lubricant must cover every exposed part of the internal surface of the socket lip and rubber ring. Unlubricated areas can cause the rubber ring to be displaced from the groove. Care should be taken to ensure lubricant does not get behind or under the rubber ring. High temperatures may cause the lubricant to lose its consistency and become very fluid. Only lubricate the spigot end when operating in high temperatures. High temperatures may also cause premature drying of the lubricant after application. Lubricant should therefore be applied immediately before jointing the pipes In cold conditions it may be necessary to warm the lubricant to a brushable consistency by standing the lubricant container in warm water.

Table 8.1 - Permissible misalignment of offsets during entry When in line with the witness mark, hold in position for a moment to allow the rubber ring to go back to its original profile. Failure to do so will result in the pipe popping back. Do not over engage to compensate for this. The final entry position for undeflected joints is ideally at the line with a tolerance of 5mm. Insufficient entry that exposes the line by more than 5mm after relaxation could result in a leaking joint (Note that when the pipe is deflected, the entry line may be exposed by up to a maximum of 25mm). Entry greater than the line will not lead to a leaking joint but may prevent deflection of the joint. In addition, if entered the full amount, this may result in damage to the spigot end if the pipe bottoms. With the puller load on, deflect the pipe to the required grade and direction on the sand bedding. from under bedded pipes to avoid damage to the SINTAKOTE from sling eyes or hooks. See Section 7: Bedding; Allowance for sling withdrawal.
Figure 8.4 - Alignment of pipes during jointing
The maximum permanent deflections for SINTAJOINT pipes are shown on Figure 8.5. Please Note: If more precise figures are required, please contact a Tyco Water Regional Marketing Office. The puller load must not be released until sufficient backfill is placed around the pipe to ensure that joint movement will not occur. Care should be taken when withdrawing slings

During this operation, to ensure that the over deflected joint does not come apart, it will be necessary to leave the puller load on at the joint and use a second puller to assemble the new joint. After removal of the temporary overdeflection, place a quantity of backfill over the pipe before releasing the puller load. changes in grade, or changes in direction, must be delayed until the assembly as described above is completed.

pipe using appropriate lighting, must be performed on each joint. Telescopic or video equipment may be used. This procedure should detect most instances of rubber ring displacement. Joints indicating rubber ring displacement or excessive gapping must be pulled apart, cleaned of all lubricant and re-assembled using a new rubber ring. 2. Lower onto bed to give correct entry and complete weld.
Welded joints
When welding, ensure adequate ventilation to draw off welding fumes. Clean the ends of the pipe with a wire brush or power brush to remove surface rust etc. Lay pipes with sockets facing the direction of laying. Its easier to locate a pipe spigot correctly into a socket than a socket over a spigot. There is also less chance of entrapping soil in the joint as the spigot is pushed home. Pick up the pipe, refer Section 3: Unloading and handling. Lower the pipe into the trench and insert the spigot end into the socket. The pipe should be inserted angled slightly down toward the spigot. The top of the joint is then tack welded and the pipe lowered onto the bedding to give correct entry. See Figure 8.8. The maximum allowable deflection for slip-in joints is in the range 20 to 30. For ball and socket welded joints, the maximum allowable deflection is 30.
In general, only a single fillet weld is required for sealing and structural purposes. Pipe sizes 813 mm OD and larger may require a seal weld internally to allow an air leak tightness test of the weld. The gap between cement mortar linings at joints should be filled with cement mortar for pipe sizes 813 mm OD and larger. Refer Appendix B - Repair of cement mortar linings and reinstatement of field joints. For smaller sizes, design should ensure joint configurations which permit cement linings to abut. Provide external coating at all joints using a heat shrink sleeve (preferred) or tape field joint coating systems. Refer Appendix A: Field repair and joint reinstatement of SINTAKOTE. Where a SINTAKOTE pipe is cut for welding, the pipe should be stripped back to the steel for a minimum distance of 75 mm each side of the weld.
CHAPTER 8
Internal check
When regulations and pipe sizes allow entry to the pipe, the assembled joint should be inspected from inside the pipe. This inspection gives the assurance that the rubber ring remains properly seated in its groove. It must be ensured that no part of the rubber ring protrudes past the spigot end of the pipe. On smaller pipe lengths, where access is not practicable, inspection from the end of the

Gasket Composition
Table 8.2 - Recommended gasket composition for transport of general domestic liquids including brine and sewage Fig 8.9 Raised face type flanges Fig 8.10 Matched o-ring type flanges Where it is not possible or desirable to use o-ring type flanges, Tyco Water recommends the use of raised face steel flanges. See Figure 8.9. The use of flat-faced steel flanges is not preferred except when the mating flange is cast iron. This situation may occur at a pump housing, but current practice is for most pipeline components to be manufactured in steel or ductile iron. Experience has shown that flat-faced flanges are generally more susceptible to sealing problems and successful sealing is heavily dependent upon assembly technique. Where the required flange sizes are larger than DN 1200 or are outside the normal pressure rating, special flanges must be designed. In this situation o-ring type flanges are recommended as being the best option for medium to high pressure situations. high strength bolts because of the higher initial compression necessary. Table 8.2 details the recommended type of gasket to be used for various classes of raised face steel flanges. Generally full face gaskets (that incorporate holes for the flange bolts) can be used with raised face flanges as only the raised face area inside the bolt holes is clamped. The full face gasket enables better location of the gasket compared to a ring type gasket. (If rigid compressed fibre type gaskets are used the use of ring type gaskets is normal) For other liquids, temperatures or pressures contact a Tyco Water Regional Marketing Office.
Flanged joints
Flanged joints are completely rigid and should not be used for applications where movement of the pipeline is expected, unless special provision is made to accommodate it by, for example, the inclusion of expansion joints. Flanged joints are used mainly for above ground applications, e.g. pumping stations, water and sewage treatment plants and for industrial pipework. They are also used to facilitate the installation and removal of valves in SINTAJOINT and welded pipelines and for valve bypass arrangements. For assembly of flanged joints no field welding or other special equipment is required. Flange dimensions are normally in accordance with AS 4087 and are currently supplied in Class 14, Class 21 or Class 35. For access covers and other blank flange joints Tyco Water recommends the use of o-ring type gaskets because of their low requirement for assembly stress and trouble free operation. O-ring flanged joints have
these same advantages in other flanged joint situations but it must be remembered that the use of o-ring type flanges requires full knowledge of all of the mating components to avoid a joint situation with two o-ring groove ends joining each other. The correct matching is shown in Figure 8.10.

(particularly important on elastomeric gaskets) Grade 8.8 galvanised steel or grade 316 property class 80 stainless steel stud bolts are recommended for use with composite fibre gaskets. Bolt tensions need to counter the force due to expected internal pressure and to provide an adequate sealing stress without exceeding the maximum allowable gasket stress at the time of installation. The application of excessive torque at the time of installation may overstress the gasket causing crushing or extrusion, which can lead to leakage at operating pressures. The surface conditions of the threads as a result of rust, plating, coating and lubrication are the predominant factors influencing the torque / tension relationship. However, there are many others including thread fit, surface texture and the speed and continuity of tightening. The flange faces are assumed to have a surface roughness of Ra = 10 -12.5 m. A torque wrench is most commonly utilised to achieve the required bolt tension, however in critical applications an hydraulic tensioner should be used.

9. Backfilling
The materials used for backfilling the trench and their compaction should be specified by the designer. Proper support and protection of the pipe should be considered together with the future ground loading and activity. For small diameter pipe laid in an area where surface settlement is not a problem, minimum backfill compaction is normally adequate. However as the depth of cover increases or where vehicle traffic occurs, and especially for large diameter thin wall pipes, the degree of compaction becomes critical to ensure the long term performance of the pipeline.
Zone A - Bedding
A minimum 50 mm thick compacted bedding layer of sand, non cohesive native soil or imported fill (100% less than 13.2mm) should be provided under the pipe as bedding. Bedding material may need to be imported or may be present after excavation. Bedding provides even support for the pipe along its entire length and protects the SINTAKOTE.
The degree of compaction required will depend on the loading for which the pipeline has been designed and the ring stiffness of the pipe. Ring stiffness depends on the pipe wall thickness and diameter; a thick walled small diameter pipe is stiffer than a thin walled large diameter pipe. An indication of stiffness can be taken from the diameter/steel wall thickness ratio or D/t. For steel pipes equal to or less than 914mm OD, with a D/t less than 120, only moderate compaction is required to achieve the necessary support. Pipes with D/t values greater than 120, or greater than 914 mm OD, need more support from the side fill to carry the soil and traffic loads and the level of compaction specified should reflect this. When high levels of compaction are specified for these low stiffness pipes, it is essential that backfill be well compacted between the sides of the pipe and the trench. Particular care should be taken in compacting the material under the haunches of the pipe. The backfill should be built up in 150 mm layers evenly on both sides of the pipe. Backfilling in layers should proceed until there is an overlay of at least 150 mm above the top of the pipe. This layer provides a zone of material to prevent sharp objects imparting
high point loads on the coating. When a pipeline is to be cathodically protected, material should not be too high in electrical resistivity as this will reduce the effectiveness of the protection. Generally sand or soil is suitable. Stone and gravel can be too high in resistivity. Hence a well graded mix of sand and gravel should be used on cathodically protected lines where imported backfill is required.

10. Fittings
Compaction
The level of compaction to achieve in-situ ground conditions, may require 65% Relative Density for sand or 90% Standard Proctor Density for clay type (cohesive) soils. Soil density is usually specified as Standard Proctor Density for clay type soils and Relative Density for granular soils (cohensionless). Standard tests are available for determining the density of compacted soils. During construction these limits may need to be lowered where service loads contribute significantly to ring deflection.
Sintajoint (RRJ)
For SINTAJOINT pipe a safe service ring deflection limit of 2% of the pipe OD is recommended. This is to ensure that the annular gap between spigot and socket is not so distorted as to cause significant reductions in gasket contact pressure.

Eccentric Reducer

Welded Joints
For pipes with welded joints and cement mortar lining, a safe service ring deflection limit of 3% of the pipe OD is recommended. This is to avoid possible repetitive flexing of the pipe and fraying of the lining.
Figure 10.1- Common Fittings - welded pipelines Note that Tees, Angle Branches and Y-Pieces may require reinforcing as indicated. Good planning at the design stage can result in improved installation efficiency. This is particularly true for pipelines requiring numerous fittings. For fully welded lines, fittings should be ordered to suit and can be fabricated from SINTAKOTE pipe. For rubber ring joint pipelines, consideration needs to be given to anchorage at change in direction, dead ends, tapers or tees. See Section 11: Anchorage of pipelines. For rubber ring pipe joints under maximum allowable deflection (see Figure 8.6) thorough compaction of the embedment zone on the outside of the joint is required. For directional changes greater than that achieved by deflection of a pipe joint, fittings are required. For common use fittings see Figures 10.1 and 10.2.

Reinstatement of SINTAKOTE
Mild steel cement mortar lined pipe is supplied with SINTAKOTE, a fusion bonded medium density polyethylene coating for welded or rubber ring jointing. Fittings may be fabricated from SINTAKOTE pipe, but are also available as SINTALINK fittings, entirely coated with SINTAKOTE. In order to determine whether or not a damaged area requires repair the following assessment should be made:Continuity test at 12kV. If a holiday is detected then repair. Determine the coating thickness. If less than 1.0 mm then repair. Figure A.1 has been devised to determine the best method for field repair of SINTAKOTE for buried service at ambient temperature.

shrink sleeves are the preferred method of protection of field welds. Enclosed are the procedures for heat shrink sleeve coating (A1), tape wrap coating (A2), adhesive patch repair (A3), Drader gun welding repair (A4) and SINTAPIPE end repairs (A5). The use of petrolatum tape protection systems is not recommended for the repair or field joint coating of SINTAKOTE. This is primarily due to their very poor resistance to soil stresses. The techniques detailed in this Appendix do not apply to pipelines operating at temperatures above 30 0C, nor do they apply to piles/pipelines used in above ground situations. For repair/joint coating of these pipes contact Tyco Water.

Procedure A1 -
Procedure A2 -
The application of heat shrink sleeves will give the optimum field protection. However, personnel applying sleeves need to be fully trained and experienced.
Recommended Sleeves
The recommended sleeves are: 1. Raychem WPCB available from Petro Coating Systems Pty. Ltd. The primer is Petrocote primer. 2. CANUSA KLS available from Denso Pty Ltd. The primer is Denso Primer.D.
This tape system provides a thick coating repair or field joint coating with similar impact resistance to that of SINTAKOTE. Thinner coating systems may not provide the same degree of protection. The outerwrap of a thin PVC tape is provided to reduce soil stresses as far as is possible with a tape wrap system. A heat shrink sleeve repair/joint protection is recommended for optimum resistance to soil stresses.
Procedure
1. Cut out a piece of tape (Ultraflex 1500) to fit into the bare steel area. (This is used for repair, it is not necessary for field joint coating). 2. Using a brush, apply a thin even coat of primer onto the steel and onto the SINTAKOTE by 100 mm. 3. Allow the primer to tack dry (approx. 10mins). Insert into the repair the cut piece of tape. 4. Spirally apply the tape (Ultraflex 1500) to the repair area ensuring a 100 mm overlap onto the SINTAKOTE. The overlap of tape layers should not be less than 55% of tape width. 5. Spirally apply the outerwrap (Denso MP/HD) to completely cover the first layer of tape coating. The overlap of layers should not be less than 10% of the overwrap width. 6. Some tension should be applied when applying the tapes to ensure that air voids, wrinkles etc. are not present after wrapping.
Application procedure
1. Bevel the edges of the SINTAKOTE so that there is a tapered transition of at least 5 mm between the full coating thickness and the exposed steel. 2. Remove any corrosion products on the steel and abrade the steel surface (if necessary) to produce a clean, noncorroded, roughened surface. Suitable abrasives are emery paper or a steel file. 3. Prepare the area to be repaired (to be free from dirt, dust and other contaminates) in accordance with the recommendations
Application procedure
The method of application should be in accordance with the tape manufacturers recommended procedures with the following additions:-
Preparation
Use a knife to remove all burrs/stubs from the parent coating. For coating repair, slightly

This method is recommended for repair areas up to 10,000 mm2 (ie 100 x 100 mm). It is only recommended for field use. The method uses a mastic filler, a heat fused repair patch and an overwrap tape. The tape overwrap is provided to reduce the effect of soil stresses on the patch coating. A heat shrink sleeve coating is recommended for optimum resistance to soil stresses (see A1). Note that rolls of Perp material should not be left in the sun as the product can heat up and cause the layers in a roll to fuse together.
with a clean cloth (acetone and isopropanol are a suitable solvents for cleaning). 4. Preheat the entire region to be covered by the patch (including the exposed bare metal), to a minimum temperature of 600C, with a yellow flame from a propane/air gas torch. The temperature can be measured with a melt stick. 5. Place a pre-cut piece of Perpfiller to cover the area of exposed steel. Heat the mastic and smooth it with a flame heated paint scraper type blade to cover all bare metal and to exclude all air. Do not smear the mastic over the SINTAKOTE. Any excess mastic Recommended Materials should be removed so that the mastic just fills the damaged region. The following system or equivalent is 6.

Welding equipment
1. Drader extrusion welder and suitable welding tips. Refer Figure A.3 & A.4. 2. 240 V extension lead and power supply 3. Air supply 550 to 700 kPa (80 to 100 psi) 4. Thick leather gloves 5. Wraparound tip
Materials
1. A 4 mm nominal diameter extruded medium density polyethylene filler rod supplied by Tyco Water. (SINTAKOTE filler rod). 2. Clean cotton rags and isopropanol cleaning solution.
For use only where damaged SINTAKOTE surfaces occur in the jointing region shown in Figure A2. The Shrink Sleeve method or Adhesive Patch method should be used where damage occurs away from the joint region. This method is the only approved method for repairing the spigot end and socket end of SINTAJOINT pipe or fittings. When properly executed, this method will ensure good fusion between the filler material and existing SINTAKOTE.
General Instructions
1. The Drader Injectiweld can produce sound weld deposits of various shapes that are effectively bonded to the original surface provided the correct technique is used. 2. Temperature setting The welder unit should be preset to 270C initially and no further adjustment is necessary. 3. Select the correct tip and fit to the gun as follows: Remove the retaining nut with the tool provided. This will require the gun to be switched on and heated up for a few minutes. Remove the previous tip being careful to locate the aluminium washer that is fitted between the tip and the body of the gun. 4. Figure A.3 shows the gun with tip removed. Always replace the washer: Failure to replace the washer before fitting the new tip will allow extruded material to be forced down these holes and possibly damage the heater and/or sensor.
APPENDIX A
Qualifications
Each operator who is to make repair welds upon coatings should be suitably practised and should be able to achieve adequate fusion in practice welds. Such welds can be evaluated by removing full thickness sections perpendicular to the weld. These sections can then be bent one way and then the other, through an angle of approximately 30 0, to place the internal and external surfaces of the coating in tension. Any lack of fusion indicate an unsatisfactory weld.

for several seconds until a quantity of plastic extrudes out of the end of the tip. Adjust the feed rate to give a moderate flow (no more than 2 pulses per second has been found to give good results). Remove the extrudate with a knife or suitable tool. Figure A.4 - Drader gun tip selection If there is a split in the coating away from the end of the pipe this should be first repaired with a butt weld tip before attempting this repair. Operators who attempt this repair technique should have attended a Sintakote repair training course and be certified as being competent in the use of the equipment. 1. Clean the affected area to ensure that all the dust and foreign matter is removed from the repair area. Use a file or knife to remove any coating that may be sticking out. 2. The transition area from full thickness at the start and finish of the defect should be tapered over about 40 mm to enable the tip to travel smoothly without catching on any step. This is best done with a sharp knife or rasp. 3. Fit the Concave tip that suits the pipe wall thickness to the gun. Experience has shown that it is better to fit the tip so that the groove is horizontal when the gun is held out with the handle vertical. This means that the gun travels sideways and gives the operator a better view of the repair area both in front of and behind the weld. 4. Ensure that the heating tip has reached the correct temperature and that the LED is flashing. 5. Test the feed rate by pressing the trigger 6. Determine the line of weld that the repair should be laid along and place the welding tip about one tip length before the transition to the defect. This ensures that any lack of bond on start up is outside the original defect area. The gun should be held so that it remains straight out from the pipe end but angled sideways (about 150) in the direction of the weld as determined by the angle of the tip, keeping the full face of the tip in contact with the end of the pipe at all times. Make certain that the surface beneath the tip begins to melt before commencing the weld. 7. Hold down the trigger and start moving the welder the required direction at a constant speed to ensure smooth feeding of the weld pool. 8. Use a travel speed that will give good build up of material and good coverage of the coating on both sides (see Figure A.5). Failure to get good fusion on either or both sides will result in further more complicated repairs. (Generally good fusion will result when the build up on either side of the end is about the same). If there is still poor fusion then the travel speed is too fast. 9. It is important to complete the line of weld without stopping until the tip is beyond the defect area otherwise a new transition will have to be prepared before restarting repairs.
APPENDIX A
Gun Handle
Figure A.3 Drader gun assembly 5. Apply a small amount of the Heat transfer paste to the top of the washer and the threads of the body to enable them to be easily removed later. Place the gun on a horizontal surface so that it is pointed up and place the tip over the end so that it fits snugly over the washer and pin. Occasionally the tip may not engage correctly because the locating holes are filled of plastic. In this case wait until the tip heats up and melts the plastic in the holes. Ensure that the tip sits firmly on the washer and place the retaining nut over the tip and push it down until it engages the thread (use thick gloves and/or cotton rags to prevent burning hands all of these components will get hot). 6. Never place the tip into the retaining nut first and screw it onto the gun. This could break off the locating pin making it very difficult to repair. 7. Screw the retaining nut up tight with the tool provided. This process may need to be repeated a few times as the components heat up and the retaining nut expands. (It may also be necessary to heat up the gun to replace a tip later).
8. Fit the 4 mm plastic wire into the hole at the base of the gun and rotate the feed nut to engage the wire. The wire should not be able to be pulled out from the gun when correctly engaged. Never operate the feed trigger without plastic wire being engaged. This could result in damage to the feed mechanism.

It is assumed that the pipe has been cut with a suitable machine and is presented with the coating and lining flush with the end of the pipe. Outside Trim excessive material Figure A.6 Care required when trimming Operators who attempt this repair technique should have attended a Sintakote repair training course and be certified as being competent in the use of the equipment. 1. Clean the affected area with isopropanol to ensure that all the dust and foreign matter is removed. Use a file or knife to remove any coating that may be sticking out. 2.

Hold down the trigger and start moving the welder the required direction at a constant speed to ensure smooth feeding of the weld pool. 7. Use a travel speed that will give good build up of material and good coverage of the coating on both sides (see Figure A.5). Failure to get good fusion on either or both sides will result in further more complicated repairs. (Generally good fusion will result when the build up on either side of the end is about the same). If there is still poor fusion then the travel speed is too fast. 8. It is recommended to complete as much welding as possible without stopping as a new transition will have to be prepared for each start. The start area must be feathered back to the surface to remove any unbonded areas and to provide a smooth area for finishing the weld. 9. To complete the run make sure that the bead finishes past the initial start area to ensure a complete seal. 10. When the weld has solidified the excess material can be removed using a suitable tool being careful not to cut below the original surface level (see Figure A.6). 11. Visually examine the finished area for defects and repair if necessary using a suitable tip. 12. Check the repair using a High Voltage Holiday Detector. Repair any defects and retest. The finished end should now be suitable for the attachment of a pipe coupling.
Plastic deposit Figure A.5 Build up of material on cut end 10. When the run is completed angle the gun so that it is perpendicular to the end of the pipe and continue to extrude material as the tip is withdrawn from the surface. This will reduce any plasticised defects caused by the tip. 11. When the weld has solidified the excess material can be removed using a suitable tool, being careful not to cut below the original surface level (see Figure A.6). 12. Remove material from the end in the start and finish zone where double thickness has been applied.
13. Do not remove any material from the end in the defect zone. (Wood rasps and planer can be used for this purpose). It is only necessary to remove excess material from the outside of the spigot. It is better to remove the excess from both the inside (necessary) and outside of the socket to give a better appearance. 14. Visually examine the finished area for defects and repair if necessary using a suitable tip. 15. Check the repair using a High Voltage Holiday Detector. Repair any defects and retest.

Field Repair and Joint Reinstatement of Cement Mortar Lining
The cement mortar lining of steel pipes in factory production is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1281- Cement mortar lining of steel pipes and fittings using a centrifugal process. This method ensures a dense, low water cement ratio mortar in close contact with the steel. In the factory all pipes are end capped and held for several days to enable the mortar to cure. Pipe fittings are lined in the factory either using a centrifugal mortar applicator, by hand lining or by a combination of centrifugally lined pipe with the joints reinstated by hand. Lined fittings are end capped and allowed to cure before delivery. In order to determine whether or not the mortar requires repair the following procedure should be followed:1. Use a 2.0 mm feeler gauge and see if it can be inserted to a depth greater than half the thickness of the lining. If it can, the mortar should be repaired as described in B2. 2. Use the feeler gauge to determine if the mortar has disbonded to give a gap in excess of 2 mm between the mortar and the steel pipe. This can be measured by attempting to insert the feeler gauge into the gap (at the ends of pipe) or to check if the step between adjacent sections of the lining (at a crack) is greater than 2 mm. If the disbondment is greater than 2 mm break out the disbonded lining and repair as described in B1. Disbonded (drummy) linings are acceptable provided the above criteria are not exceeded or if potable water is placed inside the pipe and water absorption leads to total loss of the drumminess. Cement mortar lining repairs and pipe joint reinstatement are usually done by hand application of the cement mortar. The procedures detailed herein are summarised as follows:1. Lining repair using premixed materials. 2. Epoxy repair of cement mortar lining cracks.
Procedure B1 -
Application Instructions
1. Ensure all surfaces are free of grease oil, paint and loose or flaking materials.
2. Wet the adjacent mortar, leaving the surface damp, but with no excess/pooled water
Materials
3. Brush apply a primer coat of Part B (liquid) to cover the steel and adjacent mortar. Note do not dilute. The mortar can be applied when this coat is wet or dry, but must be applied the same day, otherwise apply another prime coat. 4. Thoroughly manually mix Part A (do not use a cement mixer) and as much of Part B required to form a stiff workable mixture. Do not add water. Ensure there is no dry mixture present. Note the working time reduces with temperature, and is apporx. 20 minutes at 300C. 5. Apply the mortar, compacting it into place to the level of the adjacent mortar. 6. Finish with a metal trowel to provide a smooth even finish.
7. The mortar should be protected from excessive heat, water and sub-zero temperatures during the first 24 hours from placement. It should be allowed to fully dry/cure for at least 7 days prior to service.
8. Open bags of mortar not used within 24 hours should be discarded thoughtfully. 9. Dispose of packaging and waste material appropriately after use.

1. When making the joint make sure that both lugs are aligned as close as possible (Fig 1), preferably, at the top of the pipe.
This method is applicable to repair of cracks in cement mortar lined (CML) pipes. It is used to repair cracks that are greater than the 2.0mm width allowed in AS 1281.
Materials
The following materials are suitable:Epirez construction products - Epirez 633 solventless epoxy paste. Epirez advises that this product meets the requirements of AS/NZS 4020 for contact with drinking water, or Hilti (Aust) Pty. Ltd. CA 273 solventless epoxy paste.
Crack
Steel pipe Figure B.1 - Typical cement mortar lining crack greater than 2mm.
Preparation
The CML should be dry at the time of undertaking the repair. Enlarge the crack to a width of 4 to 6mm using a 100 mm angle grinder (or equivalent) fitted with a diamond tipped cutting blade nominally 3.2mm in width. The depth of the groove should be set at 2mm less than the lining thickness. The depth should be checked with a ruler.

Application
1. Mix the resin and hardener components of the epoxy paste thoroughly in the specified ratio. Mix a reasonable quantity of product to ensure that the mix ratio is achieved. Only mix an amount that can be placed within 20 minutes. Discard all product that is not used within 20 minutes. The minimum application temperature is 5C. For large repairs the easiest method of application is to fill an empty caulking gun container and apply with a caulking gun. This method pushes the epoxy into the groove to completely fill the space and exclude air. Figure B.2 - Enlarge crack to 4 6mm

Maximum test pressure =90% of yield stress of steel, but not greater than 8.5 MPa. Rated pressure =72% of yield stress of steel, but not greater than 6.8 MPa. Yield stress of steel = 300MPa for t<=8.0mm, 250MPa for t>8.0mm. where t is steel wall thickness (mm). Working pressure is determined by the designer after consideration of the Rated Pressure of the pipe and fittings and taking into account the various factors such as external loads and transient hydrostatic conditions.
